Minarchists pursue libertarian ends (protecting property rights) using authoritarian means (the state).

This is a contradiction because they are violating property rights in the process.

This makes them authoritarians, and NOT libertarians.

A small government is the larval stage of an empire.

#minarchy just kicks the can down the road.

I like libertarians and agree with much of that position, especially the NAP (NonAgression Principle), but most of them do not go far enough to be consistent with even those principles.

For example, A minarchist is a libertarian that is willing to settle for a small amount of tyranny in the hope that a small government will provide some number of liberties. Government tyranny is simply a violation of the NAP.
